    Flow cytometric analysis of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and CD14 surface expression on human intestinal mast cells (hiMC). TLR4 expression (a) was determined by direct immunofluorescence using phycoerythrin-conjugated mouse anti-human CD284 antibody (dark grey profile). Expression of membrane bound CD14 (b) was assessed using FITC-conjugated mouse anti-human CD14 antibody (dark grey profile). Both stainings were compared with unstained hiMC (light grey profile). The data are expressed as cell number versus log fluorescence and are representative of three independent experiments.

    In the presence of soluble CD14 (sCD14) in ascending concentrations, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced the cytokine expression in human intestinal mast cells (hiMC). The hiMC were treated with 1 μg/ml LPS (black bar) or sCD14 (light grey bar) solely, respectively, or with 1 μg/ml LPS plus sCD14 (0·001–1 μg/ml) (dark grey bars) for 3 hr to analyse the mRNA expression of CXCL8 (a), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) (b), IL-6 (c), CCL2 (d), CCL3 (e), and CCL4 (f). As positive control for determination of hiMC ability to induce cytokine mRNA expression, cells were treated with myeloma IgE for 90 min and afterwards stimulated with anti-human IgE for 90 min for cross-linking of high-affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI CL, black striped bar). Data represent mean ± SEM of five or six independent experiments. *P < 0·05 and **P < 0·001 indicate significant differences from hiMC treated with LPS (1 μg/ml) alone (black bar).

    Time-dependent expression and release of CXCL8 (a, b) and interleukin (IL)-1β (c) by human intestinal mast cells (hiMC) upon administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in combination with soluble CD14 (sCD14). The hiMC were incubated with 1 μg/ml LPS (black bar) or sCD14 (light grey bar) solely for 6 hr, or with LPS plus sCD14 (each 1 μg/ml) (dark grey bars) for 3 hr, 6 hr and 12 hr to analyse protein production of CXCL8 (a) and IL-1β (c) in cell lysate and release of CXCL8 (b) in supernatants. In case of CXCL8 protein production, IgE receptors were cross-linked with myeloma IgE (90 min) and anti-human IgE for 6 hr (FcεRI CL, black striped bar) as stimulation control. For CXCL8 in cell lysates (a) and supernatants (b), data represent mean ± SEM of three independent experiments by treatments with LPS plus sCD14 (dark grey bars) and cross-linking of high-affinity IgE receptor (black striped bar). No CXCL8 protein was measured in cell lysates and supernatants of hiMC without any stimulation (a, b) and treated exclusively with LPS (b). In the case of cytosolic CXCL8 protein content (a), data represent mean ± SEM of two independent experiments for sole incubation with LPS (black bar) and sCD14 (light grey bar), respectively. After treatment of hiMC with sCD14 only (light grey bar), a single measurement was quantified and is represented for CXCL8 concentration in cell supernatants (b). According to the missing values concerning cytosolic content and release of CXCL8 by LPS treatment alone, no statistical analysis with the paired t-test was performed for these data. In case of cytosolic release of IL-1β and its precursor (c), data represent mean ± SEM of four independent experiments. *P < 0·05 indicate significant differences to hiMC treated with LPS [1 μg/ml] solely (black bar).
